Lucky River Helps Ward Get Knockout

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

Clifton Ward and two opponents saw a flop of {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}{10-Clubs}. A player bet around 3,000, Ward moved all in for 8,000, and the player on his immediate left called all in for less. The original better folded.

All-In Player: {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Clifton Ward: {k-Hearts}{10-Spades}

"Want to run it twice," Ward joked after seeing his opponent had flopped a straight. The {4-Spades} on the turn was harmless, but the {a-Spades} on the river gave Ward a higher straight and the knockout.

"I never put him on that hand. When he called, I figured he had ace-queen," Ward said after the eliminated player had made his exit.
